This part of IEC 61810, with functional and safety aspects, applies to electromechanical
elementary relays (non-specified time all-or-nothing relays) with high capability requirements
like breaking or short circuit capabilities and similar for incorporation into low-voltage
equipment. These relays may have a specific design to extinguish the electric arc between
contacts (e.g. by magnetic blow-out), or use an insulation coordination not covered by
IEC 61810-1 (e.g. by gas filled contact chambers), or require safety assessments not covered
by IEC 61810-1 (e.g. for higher loads).
It defines additional requirements for high-capacity relays with generic performance intended
for use in applications in smart grids, electric vehicles and other applications where, for
example, battery charge/discharge switching is used, such as:
• electrical energy storage (EES) systems,
• solar photovoltaic energy systems,
• electric road vehicles (EV) and electric industrial trucks,
• power electronic systems and equipment,
• secondary cells and batteries,
• road vehicles.
Compliance with the requirements of this standard is verified by the type tests indicated.

This part of IEC 61810 covers test conditions and provisions for the evaluation of endurance
tests using appropriate statistical methods to obtain reliability characteristics for relays.
This document applies to electromechanical elementary relays considered as non-repaired
items (i.e. items which are not repaired after failure).
The lifetime of a relay is usually expressed in number of cycles (CTF). Therefore, whenever
the terms “time” or “duration” are used in IEC 61649, they carry the meaning “cycles”.
However, with a given frequency of operation, the number of cycles can be transformed into
respective times (e.g. times to failure (TTF)).
The failure criteria and the resulting characteristics of elementary relays describing their
reliability in normal use are specified in this document. A relay failure occurs when the
specified failure criteria are met.
As the failure rate for elementary relays cannot be considered as constant, particularly due to
wear-out mechanisms, the cycles to failure of tested items typically show a Weibull
distribution. This document provides numerical and graphical methods to calculate
approximate values for the two-parameter Weibull distribution, as well as lower confidence
limits and a method for confirmation of reliability values with the WeiBayes method.
This document does not cover procedures for electromechanical elementary relays where
enhanced requirements for the verification of reliability apply.
NOTE 1 Such reliability test procedures are specified in IEC 61810-2-1. In particular, when electromechanical
elementary relays are intended to be incorporated in safety-related control systems of machinery in accordance
with IEC 62061 and ISO 13849-1, IEC 61810-2-1 defines procedures for the manufacturer to provide B10D values.
NOTE 2 Electromechanical elementary relays with forcibly guided (mechanically linked) contacts according to
IEC 61810-3 offer the possibility of a high diagnostic coverage according to 4.5.3 of ISO 13849-1:2015.

terms “time” or “duration” are used in IEC 61649, this term should be understood to mean
“cycles”. However, with a given frequency of operation, the number of cycles can be
transformed into respective times (e.g. times to failure (TTF)).
The failure criteria and the resulting characteristics of elementary relays describing their
reliability in normal use are specified in this standard. A relay failure occurs when the
specified failure criteria are met.
As the failure rate for elementary relays cannot be considered as constant, particularly due to
wear-out mechanisms, the times to failure of tested items typically show a Weibull
distribution. This standard provides both numerical and graphical methods to calculate
approximate values for the two-parameter Weibull distribution, as well as lower confidence
limits.
